tjhess Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hey everyone! I am a DJ and have hundreds of my video mixes in MP4. Can someone please let me know the conversion settings needed to play this on my deck in the car? I am striking out on every freakin setting I try? Thank You!

rgarjr Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Boss, this has already been discussed (as well performing trial and error) on another thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rgarjr Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 first of all, don't think you can play mpg4 file formats, u need to format them to AVI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quagmire Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 The 920BT will play mp4, it is one of the supported formats. I know there are people saying that the manual is wrong, that it only plays divx or avi or , but that isn't true. I have a bunch of movies that I ripped using DVD Decrypter, then used DVD Shrink to pull out the extraneous stuff, then encoded into m4v/mp4 format using Handbrake with the iPhone/iPod Touch preset. A little more than half of them play perfectly from the microSD card and USB thumb drive. I don't know why the others won't play, but it must be something in the encoding settings, I just haven't had time to play with it and figure it out. TJ: You're probably going to have to re-encode your videos to get them to work. The problem is that right now no one can give you a definitive answer on what encoding settings to use. Good luck!

tjhess Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks Q: I appreciate the honest answer and probably the one I was looking for. I am not a rookie at file conversion and this one just has me stumped! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aox Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Encode your videos in XVID/DIVX, at 900k or lower video bitrate, at 640 x 360 resolution or smaller, with mp3 audio codec and audio bitrate of 128, and a final file size of 950 MB or lower, and you will have success. I'd be interested in the info on your working MP4 files. I am the one who has found the manual to be incorrect, haven't been able to get any MP4's to play from USB/SD at all. The most glaring error in the manual is the line that says "you cannot play divx/xvid from USB/SD". -Aox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rgarjr Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I agree, if u have working Mp4 videos playing fine do post the bitrate, resolution, etc so that we can test out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjhess Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Still no reply from anyone.. Can we start a thread with some SPECIFIC details on this? Converter Software To Use Conversion rates Conversion extensions / typers Nothing is working.. I have several video converters and I am so over this already! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eddieo Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 I also have the avicx920bt. I have all my videos encoded using super encoder from erightsoft when u convert the videos make sure check that u are encoding in dvix first also don't go any higher the 640 and u should tale off ffmpeg compression but I'm sure the program will aak u to uncheck the box . Also when encoding videos make sure to rename them to a smaller and relevant file name or the radio won t see it and when it asked which player version click on all playable dvix players !!!!

And when you say "number of characters" - really? Like old fashioned 8 character DOS? lol sorry -- seriously, how many characters do you think is appropriate? I did some recodes using DivX Plus Convverter, which squished em' down to 320x240 with a .divx file extension. The Pioneer said "bad resolution" or the like (from SD card) and wouldn't list any files. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tyranie909 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I have been unable to convert any of my MKV files to a workable format so far. I have used both Handbreak and Super encoder. Anyone able to post a picture of their settings in one of their formats? I have encoded 28 so far and none work. All different settings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
